HANDS-ON LEARNING
Skills Canada Alberta is spreading the word about its free field trip offer to schools across the province. The organization is inviting educators to bring their classes to its provincial Skills competition in Edmonton on May 3 and 4, where competitors will go head-to-head against other youth in their trade-of-focus for a coveted bronze, silver or gold medal.
Further, the skilled trades advocacy organization is also inviting classes to its ‘Skills City’, an interactive village showcasing a variety of opportunities in Alberta’s trades and ‘Try-a-Trade’ events that allow students to “test-drive careers” via unique, hands-on kits.
